Question
Lately, my baby has been crying a lot and showing a lack of appetite. I would like to ask how often a 6-month-old baby should be fed breast milk?
Answer
At 6 months, breast milk may no longer provide all the necessary nutrients for the baby. It is suggested to begin introducing rice porridge, rice flour, vegetables, and fruits as complementary foods. At the same time, you can reduce the amount of breast milk and increase the intake of formula milk. If the baby is not accustomed to the new food, you can gradually increase it while slowly reducing the intake of breast milk.
